St. Anne's Church and Mission Site
St. Anne's Church and Mission Site, Catholic church in Old Town, Maine, US
The wood frame church structure stands on Down Street at Indian Island's southern end, featuring a square tower with Palladian windows and pinnacles.
Established in 1668 as a mission to Penobscot Indians, the current church building dates from 1830 and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1973.
The mission site maintains its connection to the Penobscot Indian Island Reservation through religious services and community gatherings at this centuries-old location.
The single-story building with clapboard siding contains historical architectural elements, including an entrance at the tower base and a distinctive fanlight above.
French missionary Louis-Pierre Thury initiated the Catholic mission in 1688, establishing both the church and cemetery that formed the foundation of this enduring religious site.
